Analysts: PlayStation 5 Pro will sell 12.8 million units by 2029
Yesterday, Sony officially introduced an upgraded version of the PlayStation 5 console — the PlayStation 5 Pro. The analytics firm Ampere Analysis attempted to forecast its sales.
Analysts suggest that the PlayStation 5 Pro will sell at a pace similar to that of the PlayStation 4 Pro. They do not rule out that the high price of the console ($699.99 and €799.99) might deter some players, but PlayStation enthusiasts will still add it to their collection.
Ampere Analysis noted that PlayStation 4 Pro sales reached 14.5 million units over a little more than five years of its existence. This accounts for 12% of the total PlayStation 4 sales. Based on these data, analysts predict that by 2029, 12.8 million PlayStation 5 Pro units will be sold.
